Back to school :(

Hi,

So I'm pretty much going to post whenever I get the inspiration.. This is why my posts haven't been regular recently, I just haven't had much stuff to write about... Also, for future reference, the next couple of weeks might go by without a post, that's simply because I'm going back to school and will be getting back into my school routine.

I go back to school on tomorrow and I'm terrified (to say the least) I'm going to be in the sixth form (which is the last 2 years of my education) and taking A levels. I'm going to be doing Biology, Chemistry, French, Maths and at my school there's an option to take GCSE Italian with your A levels, so I'm doing that as well. Apparently we have to put in 5 hours of study outside of lessons per subject, so I'm pretty much going to have no social life after 25 hours of extra study per week. Yay!

On the plus side, my uniform isn't as disgusting as it used to be. We now wear a navy pencil skirt, white fitted blouse (any sleeve length), a navy jumper/cardigan, flesh coloured tights (in summer) or black/navy tights (in winter) and black shoes. We are also allowed to wear nail varnish and have our hair down, which is good. 

I will probably be posting again soon about school..

Bye

Results, Results, Results

Sorry this is late.. Again.

So on Thursday I received my GCSE results, which was nerve racking, to say the least. Although I did well, 7As, 2Bs and a C, which is alright considering I was expecting mostly Ds and Cs. My mum made a deal with me beforehand, saying that for every A/A* I got she would give me £100, I'm only getting £200 though because she bought my surfboard, which was £500. She's probably regretting that deal now.

So I'm buying clothes now which is fun, and I'm saving £100 for when I go to London again in September (for more appointments) as the doctors cannot figure out what is wrong with me, and we will be going to Oxford street and primark!!!!

Bye for now

Chihuahua chaos

Hi

Sorry this is late.

So most of you won't know that I have a little dog called Louis...

And over the weekend I left guernsey to travel up to Peterborough to visit the people who bred him.

They are lovely. They have the loveliest dogs that are well trained and well looked after. Louis even got to see his mum and his sister for the first time since he was about 4 months old (he's now almost 2), although most of the beginning of the weekend was spent getting mixed up between Louis, Missy (his mum) and Kenzo (his sister). They are so alike apart from Missy and Kenzo being darker on their backs.

There they are, the little beauties!

Photo Fail

So the shooting stars were amazing, I must have seen over 20 in the period of about an hour, sat outside alone on my trampoline. In a way, after I got over the fear of a murderer silently creeping towards me and killing me, it was kind of relaxing, I don't think I've ever just lay down and stared at the stars. I couldn't get any photos, because I'm stupid. You need to have certain lenses and tripods and all this complicated stuff, astrophotography as people like to call it is very hard. In case you were wondering, I did wish on pretty much all of the stars, for the same thing really, I can't tell anyone what I wished for otherwise it won't come true..

I'm quite sad aren't I?

I would upload the photos onto here but they're just black images so I won't bother.

Bye

Sun, sea, sand and stuff

Hi,

So I've decided to have main posts generally on Mondays and some smaller posts on other weekdays.

I'm quite happy at the moment, the sun has been shining a lot recently which means I have been sunbathing. I'm not quite as tanned as some of my friends, but I'm getting there! I've also been down the beach more than last year. Last week I went jumping off tommy rock (a rock just outside bordeaux harbour) into the sea with Ellie, in hindsight we were pretty pathetic, we managed to swim out to the rock, although I was sure that my muscles would seize up due to the cold and I would drown. It probably took us about 5 or 6 minutes to swim out there and then about 25 minutes to actually jump off. We only jumped once because it was freezing but it was fun and we will be going again!

There is supposed to be a meteor shower tonight so I'm waiting for that and I will post pictures later.

Bye for now

Hey

So it's been ages, I know I should have posted but I think I'm going to be writing more regularly like every Friday or other day.

Anyway I'm currently painting my surfboard with posca pens, which takes ages but I've made a lot of progress since yesterday! However the large parts are just as hard as the small precise parts which is just annoying.

I also have to go back to London on the 12th and the 13th for more appointments, but I am going to see war horse at the new London theatre (I think) which is amazing (even though I've already seen it) but I loved it and my mum says she's always wanted to see it, so we're going!

I also passed my grade 4 singing exam with a merit, I was 7 marks off a distinction which is annoying but it's only made me want to try harder and get a distinction in my grade 5!

Well I have to go now but I will be uploading progress of my surfboard on here later.

Bye

Sennen and surfing

Hey guys,

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything in about 5 weeks but I've been really busy and I'm currently in Cornwall on holiday.

I've been surfing pretty much every day this week, and the temperature has been in excess of 30 degrees and in some places over 40, which is ridiculous because this is England for gods sake. There hasn't been any wind so there is no other way to escape the heat other than the sea, which has been between 16 and 20 degrees. It's nice but it makes me regret bringing my winter wetsuit which is 5:4:3 (that's the thickness in mm, so at the thickest parts it will be 5mm and at the thinnest 3mm). 

We're currently driving up to Newquay to go to a surfboard factory to get my new board and Ellie will be pleased to know that I've finally decided what I want to put on my board! I've been stuck on that since march/April. There's this artist who does these pictures of surf in Hawaii and they're really nice and pretty simple images.

Her website is

I've been surfing with Sennen Surfing Centre this week and I've got more sessions next week so I'm happy. The surf instructors there are fantastic, and if you are looking for somewhere to learn to surf I would highly recommend sennen! After going there for 3 years in a row I have a lot of banter with the surf instructors, the topic this year is mostly my purple (now lilac because of the sun) hair which has one of the surf instructors borrowing my hair dye. Last year it was one of the instructor's hair (it looks like Justin bieber's hair). Yesterday I had to take the warm up session with another girl to see if we had what it takes to be a surf instructor, apparently we do!

I'm getting a Penny Skateboard and I think I'm going to get a white deck, turquoise wheels and either black or white trucks? (I believe that's what they're called).

I'm really excited because my parents are looking at cottages over here as holiday homes, so I can come back every summer and go surfing which is sick! Next year I'll be able to drive so my mum is making me do an advanced driving test so that I'll be able to drive over here. 

Speak to you soon!
